Study Abroad Expert
Established in 1994 as UTI Bank, Axis Bank provides education loans to students who want to study in India or abroad. Axis Bank is the third largest commercial private bank in India. Axis Bank provides both secured and unsecured abroad education loans. In the case of an education loan abroad without collateral, the amount can go upto 50 Lakhs INR while in the case of a secured education loan, the amount can go upto 85% of the collateral pledged.
Based on the target university, Axis Bank has divided the educational institutions into three categories:
Prime A: This list contains mostly Master's programs from top universities.
Prime B: Besides Master's programs, it includes a few bachelor's degrees as well.
Non-prime: Courses and institutes which do not form a part of Prime A & B lists are included in this category.
Axis education loan does not just help students to realize the financial requirements of studying abroad but also offers a 100% tax benefit to them on the interest paid under Section 80(E) of the IT Act. Other than these features, as a scheduled commercial bank, government schemes such as Central Government Interest Subsidy Scheme (CSIS) for Economically Weaker sections (income up to Rs. 4.5 Lakhs) are available at Axis Bank.

In case of collateral as well the co-applicant profile is considered. Different features that are associated with a secured abroad education loan with Axis Bank are -
If you have pledged a residential property as collateral and your co-applicant is salaried, then you can get up to 85% of the property value.
If you have pledged a residential property as collateral and your co-applicant is self-employed, then you can get up to 75% of the property value.

You can get Axis education loan interest rate between 9.99% - 10.50% for secured loans.
The main benefit of a secured education loan is that the course and university list are not considered. That is, you can be from any university and course no matter whether it is listed in the Axis Bank university list or not.
Under the Central Government Interest Subsidy Scheme offered by Axis Bank, economically disadvantaged students can receive Axis Bank student loans for professional or technical studies at accredited institutions. Key features include:
Government payment of interest during the moratorium.

The process of starting a loan application with Axis Bank is quite simple. All you need to do is follow the below-mentioned steps.
The first step is to check your loan eligibility with GyanDhan which will require you to fill out some details like personal details, target university, loan amount, and more.
After checking your loan eligibility, an education loan counselor (ELC) from GyanDhan will contact you and provide a personalized document checklist. You'll need to arrange the documents while the ELC pushes your details to Axis Bank.
Once you arrange all documents, an Axis Bank relationship officer (RO) will collect and verify them. Missing documents will be notified by GyanDhan's ELC and Axis Bank's RO within 1 day.
After all the verification is done, a loan approval mail (with loan amount and other details) is sent to the applicant that needs to be signed so that the same can be sanctioned.
